New pinned Tweet time! Happy to announce I've written a book about the 2000 World Series. "The Subway Series" comes out in April & is available to preorder now. Includes 30+ interviews w/pivotal people from the '00 World Series & Yanks-Mets rivalry.

I've also decided Kevin Cash may be my guy @lee_w18's long-lost twin. Maybe we'll ask if he wants to go to Hofstra-Monmouth?

What a perfect way to cap a year-long, abject organizational failure by the Mets. But there is a plan, don't worry. Many people smarter than any of us can see it.

From Aug. 4. I'd say we all have skills, some less monetized by others, but only the silliest & least serious of the POBO cultists couldn't have seen Peralta's revival coming a mile way.

Only the Mets could acquire a guy from the eventual NL pennant winner and trade him to the eventual AL pennant winner.

God that is the funniest and most predicable thing that has ever happened. But don’t ever say David Stearns has been imperfect for the Mets!!!! You can’t say that!

Funny thing about the Rays winning the pennant under a new owner is the previous one bought the team already thinking MLB had a cap.

Smithers, who is that happy fellow who just won the pennant @larryfleisher?

For the first time in 46 years, we’ll have two franchises vying for their first World Series championship.
The last time it happened (Phillies/Royals in 1980), the Brewers had yet to win a pennant and Tampa was 18 years away from playing its inaugural game.

Competitive balance is the core of what baseball is all about. Rob Manfred said it. I guess the lockout is canceled!
Major League Baseball will have a brand-new World Series champion this year. Two of the five current franchises without a title — the Brewers and Rays — will meet in the Fall Classic. Game 1 is Friday night in Milwaukee.

Happy for all those people at the Trop who just learned they have a baseball team in town and went to the game tonight for the first time.

The David Stearns World Series! He built the Brewers and traded the Rays their ace! Imagine how good the Mets must be!

The 19th- and 28th-ranked payrolls are in the World Series. Time to acknowledge the cap isn't about competitive balance but about making billionaires even richer.

Meanwhile we have some Cabjn in the Woods brewing in Commanders-49ers @OtherJaymes @DalyDoseOfHoops.

The Guardians being done in by Junior Caminero and Yandy Diaz is the most Mets thing to ever happen to anyone not named the Mets.

Why can't the Guardians get guys who hit ALCS-sealing homers like Yandy Diaz, @NotTheeWillHill, @larryfleisher @drosssports?

So Freddy Peralta is going to get the ALCS-clinching win thanks in large part to a homer hit by Junior Caminero, who was acquired for Tobias Myers, who was acquired with Peralta by the Mets before this season. Just perfect. So perfect.

Forgot that Raheem Morris is the 49ers' DC. Double Hofstra men on MNF! Alas I don't think the Commanders can figure out a way to tie this one.
